I think this is a good reason not to list *any* of the products by name in the documentation, but instead refer to a page on say techdocs that can be more easily updated. And that can contain both free and non-free projects, under clear headlines showing the difference. The documentation is about PostgreSQL, not about third-party products, be they free or commercial. Our *website*, however, should give guidance on which specific products we (as a community) know are stable and usable along with PostgreSQL (as we do today under downloads, but could very well do based on specific uses like replication as well) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
